"Dodo...... Cat’s meow...... While! ”

Koo Ka-fai slammed the keys on the piano, and the composer, who has been described as "one man who held up half the sky in Hong Kong's entertainment industry in the 70s", has been quite irritated by too many trivial matters lately. He had just finished composing the lyrics that Huang Zhan sent yesterday, but he couldn't write the next soundtrack.

"Family Affection" will be broadcast in a few days, this TV series is a 75-episode long drama starring Zhou Runfa, Zheng Yuling, and Ren Dahua, compared with other twenty or thirty episodes of TV series, in addition to writing the theme song, TVB also asked Gu Jiahui to write some soundtrack for the TV series.

Gu Jiahui has also encountered situations where he can't write before, in other words, all original creators will encounter this kind of thing. So he forced himself to calm down, packed up his things at home and prepared to go out for a walk, maybe he would get into the state when he came back from a distraction.

"Jingle Bell ......"

Gu Jiahui was just about to go out, the phone at home suddenly rang, he went back to pick it up, but it was his old partner Huang Zhan calling.

Huang Zhan's voice on the phone seemed to be quite excited, and he said in a hurried tone: "Jiahui, go buy a copy of "The Original Scenery of Hometown" to listen to." ”

"Is that the tune that Kang Jianfei played on TV?" Gu Jiahui asked.

Huang Zhan said: "It's that song, but Kang Jian flew out a record of the same name, which has a total of ten songs, and each song is very exciting." ”

Gu Jiahui had only heard in the newspaper that "The Original Scenery of Hometown" was very good, but he had not heard it with his own ears, so he did not comment on it. Now his old partner Huang Zhan actually called him and asked him to buy the record, which shows that "The Original Scenery of Hometown" is indeed worthy of its name.

Gu Jiahui became interested in the record whose name he had only heard but not his voice, and closed the door and walked towards the nearby video store.

The owner of the video store was an acquaintance of Gu Jiahui, and when he saw him come in, he smiled and said: "Mr. Gu is here to choose records again, we have a batch of new golden songs from Europe and the United States, as well as Japanese ......."

Without waiting for the boss to finish, Gu Jiahui interrupted him and said, "Is there any "Original Scenery of Hometown"? ”

As soon as these words came out, the owner of the video store turned bitter and sighed again and again.

Gu Jiahui said strangely: "I just asked if you have this record, why do you look like someone owes money and doesn't pay it back?" ”

"The Original Scenery of Hometown" was originally in small quantities, who knew that a pure music record without lyrics would sell so well, it was sold out yesterday, and it has not been renewed." The owner of the video store pointed inside, "Well, those two people have been waiting for a few hours, just waiting to buy "The Original Scenery of Hometown". ”

Gu Jiahui was surprised when he heard it, now that the Chinese song boom in Hong Kong has receded, the Japanese pop trend is still in its infancy, and the most popular at the moment is the small citizen music represented by Xu Guanwen, as well as the martial arts music represented by him and Huang Hao, and even the love songs of Tan Yonglin and others have to stand aside.

And pure music or something, there is almost no market in Hong Kong, and if you can sell a thousand copies, even if it is blessed by the God of Wealth, this "Original Scenery of Hometown" can actually be sold out!

The strong recommendation of old friends and the strong reaction of the market made Huang Zhan's curiosity about "The Original Scenery of Hometown" reach its peak.

After waiting for half an hour, a young man in his twenties stopped at the door of the video store on a motorcycle, unloaded two cardboard boxes from the car and said: "It's arrived, the original scenery of my hometown has arrived!" ”

Before the boss went out, Gu Jiahui and two other waiting customers had already gathered around to help.

Of the two cardboard boxes, one is vinyl and the other is cassette.

Gu Jiahui was accustomed to hearing the timbre of vinyl records, so he picked a record and hurried home, moved out the record player and showed it.

After listening to the songs one by one, Gu Jiahui completely forgot his previous irritability, squinted his eyes and nested in the chair, and gently patted the armrest with his fingers. It wasn't until the whole record was played that Gu Jiahui opened his eyes and found that it was already dark, so he hurriedly sat down in front of the piano to write the tune - he was going to make a symphony tomorrow.

Pressing his fingers on the keys of the piano, Gu Jiahui's mind was full of the tunes he had just heard, and his ears seemed to echo with the desolate and melodious sound of Xun. Stretched out his finger and played a paragraph, Gu Jiahui wrote down the melody with a pen, and after writing it, he turned around and played it, the more he listened, the more familiar he became, he unconsciously wrote down a melody called "Song of Thanks" in the record of "The Original Scenery of Hometown" just now.

Gu Jiahui was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Just like the audience watched "Mr. Zombie" some time ago and didn't want to watch other inferior movies, the same is true for making music.

After a composer listens to a great piece of music, it is possible to be inspired to create a work that satisfies him. It is more likely that after hearing a beautiful melody, the emotion cannot come out of those melodies, and no matter how you write it, it is someone else's melody and someone else's style.

The so-called lingering sound, three days are endless!

Now Gu Jiahui is in this state, as a composer, Gu Jiahui understands the record "The Original Scenery of Hometown" more deeply than ordinary people, and now his love xΓΉ has been immersed in it, where can he write half of his own melody?

I knew that I wouldn't listen to it, so Gu Jiahui reluctantly closed the piano.

After thinking about it, Gu Jiahui called Li Tiansheng, the producer of "Family Affection", and he was ready to tell the truth.

Li Tiansheng had just come home from the crew, and after receiving a call from Gu Jiahui, he thought he had written all the tunes, and said, "Uncle Hui, you can just hand over the written tunes to Xiao Liang of the production department tomorrow." ”

Gu Jiahui said: "The theme song has been composed, but the soundtrack can't be written, at least not in the next few days." ”

Li Tiansheng was very strange, Gu Jiahui didn't pick a pick like this, and hurriedly said, "Is something wrong?" ”

Gu Jiahui said: "I just listened to the record "The Original Scenery of My Hometown", and I couldn't write it. Even if it is forcibly written, it is Kang Jianfei's style, and I don't want to do this kind of thing. ”

Li Tiansheng had no choice but to say: "Then I'll go find someone else to write it." ”

Gu Jiahui said: "Ah Sheng, I will go to Kang Jianfei and directly use his songs as background music, the two songs "The Original Scenery of Hometown" and "Song of Thanks" are very suitable for the TV series "Family Affection". ”

"Looking for Kang Jianfei?" Li Tiansheng was even more speechless, TVB was still messing with Oriental DreamWorks some time ago, and Wu Mengda is still working in Oriental Company.

Gu Jiahui said with great certainty: "If the plot of "Family Affection" has 80 points, then after matching his songs, it can reach at least 90 points. I'm serious! ”

If others said so, Li Tiansheng would definitely laugh at it. But Gu Jiahui is different, he and Huang Zhan have a very high status in TVB, and the golden songs of the TV series that have been broadcast and sung in recent years are all cooperated by the two of them.

Gu Jiahui's words made Li Tiansheng call Fang Yihua hard.

Fang Yihua now has most of the power of the TV station in his hands, and when he heard Li Tiansheng's story, Fang Yihua just smiled faintly and said: "Since Jiahui said so, then you can listen to him, he is a professional." ”

After Fang Yihua hung up the phone, Li Tiansheng was still in a daze - why is Ms. Fang so good at talking?

In fact, there is really no inextricable contradiction between Oriental DreamWorks and TVB, at most DreamWorks and Shaw Brothers have a competitive relationship.

Fang Yihua's schedule was so strong some time ago, but it was just for people inside the TV station to see. After showing off your wrists, you should naturally do things according to the rules, how profitable and how to come.

Just this morning, Pan Yingzi just bought Wu Mengda's contract at a price of 50,000.

For TVB, Wu Mengda is no longer worthless. Hundreds of thousands of debts due to bad gambling have become notorious inside and outside the circle. In addition, this guy used to be late for filming due to gambling, or even not showing up directly, and when he became a little popular, he played a big name, offending the director and producer, and no director in TVB was willing to let him play an important role.

Such a person, 50,000 yuan sold to Oriental DreamWorks, and it was treated as waste.

…………

…………

Since "The Original Scenery of Hometown" was produced and released by Fengxing Records, Li Tiansheng sent his assistant choreographer directly to Fengxing Records the next day when he couldn't contact Kang Jianfei by phone. Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Tiansheng's assistant choreographer arrived, he found that Lishi's people had also come to the door.

TVB and Lishi are now in full swing, some time ago, the first part of Lishi's "Kindness of the Earth" "Home in the Pearl River" killed the big drama "Rotation" starring Zheng Shaoqiu, Zheng Yuling, Li Siqi, Sen Sen, Lin Zishen, Chen Baiqiang and many other stars on TVB, so that "Rotation" only broadcast 15 episodes, and then moved to Saturday because the ratings were too low.

The people who came from Lishi had the same purpose as the people sent by Li Tiansheng, they all wanted to use the tunes from Kang Jianfei's "Original Scenery of Hometown" record. TVB is to score "Family Affection", while Lishi is to score the second part of "Earth Kindness", "Ancient Capital Thunder".

Although Kang Jianfei was not there, Deng Yiming, the general manager of Fengxing Records, received them. Deng Yiming directly quoted the two of them according to Kang Jianfei's meaning: "It's okay to use tunes, and you can calculate money by seconds." 10 yuan for 1 second soundtrack, this price is very reasonable, and TV series will be sold according to this in the future, and movies will be more expensive. ”

10 yuan a second, it is estimated that Kang Jianfei's tunes will be used in one or two minutes for an episode, and 50 episodes are less than 4,000 yuan, which is indeed a very authentic price. The two hostile TV stations were there, and naturally no one was willing to lose, and after people on both sides called for instructions, they agreed one after another.

After they left, Deng Yiming wanted to laugh out loud. In the past, he wanted to release records for two TV stations, but he knelt down and pleaded and ignored him, but now after he Deng Yiming made an offer, the other party was not even qualified to make a counteroffer.

Whether it is Kang Jianfei or Deng Yiming, when they were making "The Original Scenery of Hometown", they didn't expect this pure music record to make such a big noise.

The two TV stations rushed to buy the soundtrack, and it was just the beginning! RS
